Seuraavassa vielä huomionarvoinen ote heidän sivuiltaan:

Continuing Education Units

ISPE will provide continuing education units (ISPE CEUs) for all North American seminars and courses, including educational programming at the ISPE Annual Meeting. CEUs are nationally recognized units of achievement designed for those individuals continuing their education in their chosen field or profession.

Delegates attending European seminars and courses will receive a Certificate of Attendance, as ISPE CEUs are currently not offered at European events. Verification of CEUs is based on attendance as well as satisfactory completion of all evaluation materials. Statements of credit will be mailed within four weeks of evaluation materials. One-hour of education programming equals 0.1 ISPE CEU credits.

Cancellation Policy

Cancellations must be made in writing. If cancellations are received 4 days prior to the date of the scheduled webinar, a full refund, minus a $25.00 handling fee, will be issued. After that time, no refunds will be granted. If the registrant is unable to attend, substitutions will be accepted. Substitutions must be sent at least 24 hours prior to the starting time of the scheduled webinar; in addition, nonmembers substituting for members must pay the difference in fees prior to the start of the event. This policy only applies to webinars independent of related courses and conferences. Certain restrictions apply. Contact ISPE for details.

Purchase of an ISPE Webinar entitles each purchaser to one log in. If your Name and Email Address are used for multiple logins, then ISPE is required to charge for each additional login. Recording this webinar is prohibited and is punishable by law. The instructors engaged to present Webinars are leading professionals in their fields. However, in rare circumstances, it may be necessary to make substitutions; every possible effort will be made to replace instructors with those of comparable qualifications. Every precaution is taken to ensure accuracy, but ISPE cannot accept responsibility for the accuracy of information distributed or contained in Webinars or for any opinion expressed.

IDX Systems Corporation uses information technology to maximize value in the delivery of healthcare – by improving the quality of patient service, enhancing medical outcomes and reducing the cost of care.
IDX is a leader in building an organization that thrives on the love of learning, and invests heavily in education. With this as a core belief, the IDX technical education teams create a learning environment conducive to the open sharing of ideas between students and teachers. Community learning is centric in our classrooms, with instructors acting more like facilitators of knowledge discovery than lecturers of technical content.

Heillä on sekä kursseja, että pelkkiä webinaareja tarjolla. Hinnoittelua ei paljasteta verkkosivuilla suoraan.
Seuraavassa ote heidän online kurssisivulta:

IDX offers several of its stand-up instruction courses in an online format. An online course is web-based class that is accessed through an internet browser. Each student has an individual username and password that will allow them access to the system to take the class.

The course covers the same material that is included in our stand-up version of the course offered at IDX. Students that meet prerequisites spend approximately 12-15 hours per week reading lecture material, completing exercises, and writing routines. Communication with the instructor is through a database discussion area within the tool, and through email communication.

Course Organization
The course is divided into multiple modules. Each module consists of online lectures, supplemental readings, one or more practice exercises, and where appropriate programming assignments.

Heidän palvelusivuiltaan löytyy seuraava mielenkiintoinen määritelmä webinaarin vetäjän roolista.

Webinar leaders

We like to call them webinar leaders because they don't play the traditional role of instructor. A webinar leader facilitates learning by playing the roles of moderator, coach and mentor. There will be one webinar leader per two-hour session.

Otsikon linkin takana on pdf versio samasta PP-tiedostosta joka on edellisen jutun liitteenä. Tässä on kuitenkin jokaisen "kalvon" mukana kunnon selitykset l. käytännössä esitelmöitsijän key-pointit.
Erityisesti hinnoittelun lähtökohdat ja perusteet selviävät tästä paljon paremmin.

Tässä vielä ote heidän saitiltaan:
What is a Webinar?
A webinar is a multimedia presentation that allows participants to hear the instructor through a telephone conference call while following the presentation element via a webpage. The web element also offers the added ability to ask questions via a messaging tool and allows instant polls on topics discussed in the webinar.

What are the advantages?
Webinars allow delegates from anywhere in the world to be together at the same time with the instructor. All you pay is the low webinar price and you have access to cutting-edge information and interaction on issues important to you...all from the comfort of your desk. No travel or accomodation expenses, just the content that you need to move forward with your management system project.

Tässä taasen hinnoittelusta yksi esimerkki.

ASHT Member Webinar Price: $45
Non-Member Webinar Price: $65

He ilmoittavat nämä webinaarit sponsoroiduksi ja siten pystyvät tarjoamaan edullisempaa hinnoittelua.
Through our partnership with Source Medical Solutions, Inc., we are able to offer this program at a low cost. Compare our prices with other Webinars costing upwards of $100 per hour - or more - for the same technology.

Mielenkiintoista tässä on myös se että webinaarit pidetään iltaisin ja viikonloppuisin:
These instructor led web-based courses will be scheduled during evenings and/or on weekends to free you from losing valuable work time for your continuing education.

Tässä heidän oma kuvaus missiostaan:

Our mission is to advance the understanding, practice and development of leadership for the benefit of society worldwide. Our role is to help individuals and organizations address leadership challenges.

Otzikon linkistä löytyy heidän webinar tarjontansa.
Sekä live että nauhoitetut sessiot kustantavat 250$.

He kehottavat osallistujia keräämään muita samasta organisaatiosta osallistumaan yhdessä webinaariin - eli alentamaan asiakkaan kustannuksia.

Tässä vielä heidän webinar perusteluja:
In today's fast-paced business environment, leadership education can easily slide to the back-burner, even for the most well-intentioned manager. That's why we're bringing some of the world's leading experts on leadership right to your desk for three stimulating and interactive Webinars. You can participate in these webinars from the comfort of your own office or gather your colleagues and have everyone benefit from this information. Each live 90 minute session presented by members of CCL's staff offers:

A presentation of some of today's most pressing leadership topics;

Suggestions for applying CCL insights to your organizational needs and situation;

An opportunity to interact with the presenter and other participants by asking questions and responding to real time polls; and

An opportunity to discuss issues and direct questions to CCL experts in either a public or confidential manner.

Lisäsin tähänkin blogiin "Site Feed" linkin. Mikä se on?
Lue erittäin hyvä kuvaus aiheesta - löytyy otzikon linkin takaa.
Tässä vielä toinen linkki aiheeseen:
What is RSS/XML/Atom/Syndication?

Millä hyödynnän näitä?
Hyvä lähtökohta on ilmainen Bloglines
Tässä heidän kuvauksensa toiminnasta:
Bloglines is a free service that makes it easy to keep up with your favorite blogs and newsfeeds. With Bloglines, you can subscribe to the RSS feeds of your favorite blogs, and Bloglines will monitor updates to those sites. You can read the latest entries easily within Bloglines.

Unlike other aggregators which require you to download and install software, Bloglines runs on our servers and requires no installation. Because your Bloglines account is accessible through a web browser, you can access your account from any Internet-connected machine.

Ja lopuksi vielä RSS määritelmä:

Short for RDF Site Summary or Rich Site Summary, an XML format for syndicating Web content. A Web site that wants to allow other sites to publish some of its content creates an RSS document and registers the document with an RSS publisher. A user that can read RSS-distributed content can use the content on a different site. Syndicated content includes such data as news feeds, events listings, news stories, headlines, project updates, excerpts from discussion forums or even corporate information.
RSS was originally developed by Netscape.
